70%Acer Aspire 5560G reviewSource: PC AdvisorAs a gaming laptop the Aspire 5560G is a decent bet, but we can't help but be disappointed by the application performance of the Acer in our benchmark tests. You probably wouldn't notice the lack of speed in most day-to-day applications but if you want to run more demanding software programs, a model using an Intel Core processor would be faster. The price is not especially competitive andt you can get more for your money elsewhere.

Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.

While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.

There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

AMD Radeon HD 6480G: Integrated processor graphics card (in the A4-Series of Llano APUs) without dedicated graphics memory and only 240 of the 400 shader cores. Beware, the version in the 3305M only features 160 shader cores but at a higher core clock.
